A truck and a train met on the tracks yesterday afternoon in California, and there was only ever going to be one winner.

A Union Pacific train smashed straight through a truck and trailer that had become stranded on the tracks near Chowchilla in California yesterday. A driver who was stopped behind the incident saw what was coming, and decided to video the whole thing and share it on YouTube for all to see.

Before the accident happened, the driver of the truck was well clear of the vehicle and had run down the tracks towards the oncoming train to try and get it to stop, but it was too late, as it completely destroyed the trailer, sending the cargo flying everywhere.
